Ok, I am trashing this approach. The reason why is the header record
reads ok, but not the next record. If I get rid of the header it
works if I define the LEN in the INPUT statement, which leaves me
with stripping out the header and adding it later, etc,etc, and the
whole reason I wanted to do it this way was so I wouldn't have to re-
write the file. So I am just going to modify another program I wrote
which initially checks the data and identifies errors to allow the
user to modify it on the fly as it's being read, and just write a new
file on the fly as this is being done.
Thank you all.
Chris
